How to lose fat quickly… Shorten your rest intervals!

There are a lot of reasons that can stand in the way of people losing fat. Most peoples gym sessions do not even resemble a fat burning workout! So, when you need a complete overhaul to your workout where do you start?

You reduce the rest intervals between your sets (assuming you are doing weight training in the first place).

If you bring these down so they are short enough even the easiest of workouts will become tough and result in more fat loss.

drinkYou can also make a very advanced workout extremely easy by taking a 5 minute break between sets.

Being able to transform the difficulty of a workout by altering your rest interval makes it a very powerful tool to have at your disposal. You can also use it for strength training increases by lowering the rest between sets but accomplishing the same weight and reps. This makes it absolutely crucial to time your rest intervals if you are serious about your results.

Do you time your rest intervals or even know how long you are resting? If you don’t the chances are you are resting for longer than is optimal for fat burning.

So take this as a first step to transform your workouts, cut all your rest times down to 60 seconds as a starting point and see how much of a difference it makes.
